Whenever I would picture an ideal place to stay in the Maine Woods, it would be a lakeside “camp,” with rustic, but elegant, cabins set among the pines. Randomly spaced Adirondack chairs would line the lakeshore so one could admire the view of distant mountains. A good restaurant within walking distance would be a bonus.
Twin Pines at the New England Outdoor Center on Millinocket Lake checked off virtually every box for me, and I couldn’t believe my luck in finding this place. Noreen, Mike, and I arrived mid-afternoon and were immediately impressed by the main building which housed the restaurant. We checked into our two-bedroom cabin, with a full kitchen and comfortable living room. I wouldn’t call the cabin elegant, but it was everything we needed. We then headed for the lake.

It was a gorgeous day, and Mount Katahdin was in full view in front of us. We settled into Adirondack chairs and simply enjoyed the peace, quiet, and wonderful views.
Noreen and I both commented that we could see ourselves returning here for a week or more, and I’m glad we had decided to stay three nights.

Dinner was an unexpected gourmet experience, and we returned to our cabin to turn in early to rest up for our morning moose and wildlife tour.
